After the war between the Titans and the Olympians, life gets a bit boring on earth. Zeus asks Prometheus and his brother, Epimetheus, to fill the world with living creatures. Epimetheus gives all the gifts to the animals, and there is nothing left for man. This humorous version of the Greek creation myth, told in a combination of prose and verse, will delight kids of all ages. The poem aligns with Level 1 of the HOT ROD series of decodable books. The HOT ROD series (Higher Order Thinking through the Reading of Decodables) was created to complement any reading program. This book was specially designed for students who would benefit from controlled reading practice with closed (short) vowel sounds and initial (cr, fr, dr, gr, tr, fl, sk, sm, sp) and final (ft, nt, sp, lk) consonant blends. Using the Pair and Share Reading Strategy, a reading partner reads the introduction which provides valuable background information for the story. Questions at the end of the book help students develop higher order thinking skills. For more information about the scope and sequence of the series and the progression from basic to advanced decoding, visit www.wordtravelpress.com. On the website, each book is supplemented with additional Higher Order Thinking questions, reproducible materials, games, and activities.
